The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) is expected to hold talks with China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co (CSOC) by early next month about a proposed engine for the S26T Yuan-class submarine being built for the navy, said navy chief Adm Choengchai Chomchoengpaet.
"The navy needs to have submarines as part of its naval force so as to allow it to best operate during a time of crisis," Adm Choengchai told media on Tuesday.
